>> First Monolith™ Order for the Paper Industry

Maschinenfabrik Herkules received a further order for delivering a heavy duty roll grinding machine for the Krasmokamsk paper factory of the Goznak enterprise.

In this case, we will deliver a roll grinder in Monolith™ design for the paper industry. Thanks to the omission of a vibration isolated foundation, the Monolith™ design saves enormous cost. This certainly was an important reason for the customer's decision.

The Herkules roll grinding machine is designed for grinding special types of paper mill rolls. It is equipped with a most modern process computer control and state-of-the-art measuring technology, as well as various additional / special equipment.
